The helicopter chap Xrayalpha refers to was me. Sorry to hear you are having trouble Valve Guide. For me its just a case of swinging around Strathaven which is hardly much of a detour. I do take on board all points raised here, but at least I got a coffee from Xray and no bad feelings ...I think. Xray has a point in that we want to remain safe and if doing a little detour assists that then surely its worth it. With regard to bumpy in the hills I thought those 3 bladed Enstroms were supposed to be great for that unlike my 2 bladed robbie.
Thanks for the coffee Xray, remember if I can help you out with any printing let me know. Incidently one of your guys, well a microlite anyway flew over my house today from west to east at about 300ft, time 12 noon!!! Doesn't bother me but not good practise. It was red, maybe they're all red who knows!
